My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Age: 1 year

Size: 55 lbs

Estimated breed: Pit bull/Am Staffordshire terrier

Perfect home: At least one other resident dog

Sister was surrendered to an overcrowded, rural shelter along with her sister, who was nursing five newborn babies, and an adult male dog. Sister was the most terrified of the whole group and sat shaking like a statue at the back of her kennel. She was in what we call shelter shock - surrounded on all sides by barking dogs, with nothing but a cold, hard floor to lay on, without the comfort of her doggie family. Dogs like Sister do not survive in a shelter environment for long, so we jumped into action and got her into the safety of a foster home in PA!

Sister is quite simply, a perfect dog. She is very shy and timid at first meeting with people but opens up very quickly and bonds strongly to her people! She shares her foster home with cats and dogs and does amazing with them. Doggie pals give her confidence, so she'd do best in a home with at least one other friendly dog for her to bond with. One look into her soulful eyes and you'll fall in love with Sister just like we have. We can't wait to see her in a loving forever home with a family who will love her unconditionally!

Please note we cannot guarantee the age or breed of any of our dogs. All of our dogs are working on their crate and house training.

Additional adoption info

Thank you for your interest in adopting a dog from Nirvana Animal Rescue! Our adoption process is in place to ensure we find you the perfect match. The process includes the following steps:

Submission of online application.

Volunteer review of your application, including a background check on all adults living in the home, checking personal references, contacting your landlord if you rent, and contacting your veterinarian if you have current pets.

Phone interview with a volunteer to discuss the answers on your online application, share more information about Nirvana Animal Rescue, and answer any questions you have.

Virtual home visit with a volunteer to review your home and yard and ensure it is a safe environment for a dog.

If your application passes the above steps, the final step is arranging a time for your entire family, including resident dogs, to meet the dog you’d like to adopt! We require that everyone in the family meet the new dog before fully approving the adoption.
